Biography

[edit]

Nalin Haley was born on September 6, 2001[3][4] to Nikki Haley (née Randhawa) and Michael Haley.[5] He is the younger of two children.[5] His mother entered politics while Haley was a child, and was elected Governor of South Carolina in 2010 as a Republican.[6] Haley expressed that he felt confusion as a child over religion, with his maternal grandparents being Sikh and his parents Christians, with the desire to reach an answer on this issue leading the young Haley to read about a number of religions.[6] On Palm Sunday in 2025, Haley was confirmed into the Catholic Church in a South Carolina parish.[7] Haley attended high school in New York amidst his mother's tenure as ambassador to the United Nations,[8] and studied at Villanova University, a Catholic university in Philadelphia, majoring in political science.[6][9]

During Nikki Haley's 2024 presidential run, Nalin campaigned alongside her, referring to Tim Scott, a South Carolina senator and Donald Trump surrogate, as "Senator Judas" at a campaign stop in Gilbert, South Carolina.[10] Haley also expressed criticisms of Vivek Ramaswamy and Sunny Hostin, both of whom had spoken negatively about Nikki Haley.[10][11] Haley later stated that his support for his mother during the Republican primaries owed mainly to wanting to be a "good son".[6]

Following the 2024 United States presidential election, Haley became increasingly vocal in expressing his beliefs on social media, advocating against immigration (both legal and illegal) and foreign aid.[6] He has called for the deportation and denaturalisation of Mehdi Hasan, a British American progressive commentator, arguing that Hasan and those who "hate America" should leave the country.[6] Sohrab Ahmari in UnHerd has described Haley's political views as on the right-wing and sharply differing from that of his mother's.[6]

Haley was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in November 2025, saying that naturalized citizens should not be allowed to hold political office, and expressing his support for an end to foreign aid and foreign lobbying.[12] In response to Carlson raising the topic of "the Israel question", Haley stated that "if they want a better relationship with the United States, they need to stop interfering in our politics", saying that this applied to "a lot of other countries" in addition to Israel.[12]

Haley is currently employed in the finance industry, and works in the Charlotte metropolitan area.[6]
